BOOTLEG STARDUST
Daisy Jones & The Six meets Nick Hornby in this uplit debut about a young musician's wild, unexpected ride through rock and roll stardom.
It's 1974, and twenty year old Levi Jaxon, a talented guitarist and songwriter, wants to be famous.
He gets a break he doesn't expect, playing offstage with Downtown Exit to cover for a bandmate who drops so much acid he can no longer perform. When Pete 's habits lead to his death, Levi takes his place in the band.
But its star, Frankie Novak, sees Levi as a threat musically and romantically, as they compete for the attentions of their photographer Ariadne.
When they embark on a European tour, Levi thinks he's finally overcome his troubled childhood. He doesn't realize because of his carefully hidden dyslexia that he's signed away the rights to his songs. The band's new
album is overdue and the record company is demanding a hit or its money back.
Bootleg Stardust is a coming of age story that captures triumph, insecurities, and cutthroat realities, as well as the universal desire for love and fulfillment.
GLENN DIXON's memoir Juliet's Answer was a #1 national bestseller that was published in eleven countries and was one of The Globe and Mail's Best Books of the Year. His gritty rock and roll band, the Barrel Dogs, wrote and recorded songs for this novel, on the very real Rolling Stones Mobile Unit as well as at sessions in Abbey Road Studios.
